Kathy Zucker, NJ

“One year ago, my eldest daughter began training at Arena. Emily started fencing at age four (my husband and I were both NCAA Division 1 varsity fencers) but we were never able to find the right club for her. The coaches have been incredibly welcoming and kind to my family. Arena has been exactly the environment that Emily needed to elevate her fencing game to college caliber."
